Very nice!

I agree with Rupert, it kind of looks like your right hand is pushing something down.

Keeping your left thumb extended and perhaps turning a drop to the left would definitely enhance the vanish.

The still palming hand is a very nice touch. Try to avoid the pushing down movement appearance and you will have a very good vanish !

What drives the action of your right hand moving to the tabletop and then back to the pack?
Can (should?) you block the action so you start with the card on the table and move your left hand to the left to add it to the face of the pack? Then proceed with the pickup and magical effect.
Just a thought,

Tthe right hand gives the deck to the left hand to show the top card . this is a clip for magicians only. Maybe you missed that in the beggining of the clip my hands are empty, because I don't show them in the clip.This is a move in Â´transitionÂ´.

I believe what Jon is suggesting is motivation for your hand to fall flat to the table -- something that doesn't really exist in your current handling.

Granted, you're just showing off the move. But it's a good suggestion nonetheless.

The setup and and replacement sleights look smooth. All well and good there.

You're quite welcome

I love the french drop and actually once spent a few months teaching it to someone.
